Femi Fani-Kayode, a former Minister of Aviation, has said
that the Federal Government can no longer defend the current spate of
insecurity in the country.
Lai Mohammed, the Minister of Information and Culture, had
recently said that Nigeria is better off now than in 2015 when the current
administration took over power, in terms of security.
However, DAILY POST reported a few hours ago how President
Muhammadu Buhari’s convoy was attacked by gunmen suspected to be bandits the
same day another set of gunmen, suspected to be members of Boko Haram, attacked
the Kuje prison facility.
And in reaction, Fani Kayode, a member of the ruling All
Progressives Congress, APC, said Nigeria is now the capital of mass murder and
terrorism capital.
The former miniser listed the most recent killings and
terrorist activities in the country to include, “Abuja’s Kuje prison attacked
and bombed.
“President’s convoy attacked; 45 people killed in attack in
Niger; 90 people killed in attack in Zamfara; 50 people killed in attack on
Church in Ondo.”
He concluded that, “We are now the world’s mass murder and
terrorism capital! This is INDEFENSIBLE!”
Spokesman to the President, Garba Shehu, in a statement on
Tuesday night, said, “The attackers opened fire on the convoy from ambush
positions but were repelled by the military, police and DSS personnel
accompanying the convoy.
“Two persons in the convoy are receiving treatment for the
minor injuries they suffered.”
